"The Sunrise in the West" is a metaphysical political treatise, falling under a constellation of Divine, scholarly, classical, cultural, and oral traditions, charting African American global futures for generations to come. The text calls for a grand unification of Black American Fraternal and Street Organizations under common ethnic and national identity as "Orun"..."Orun" defined as the Yoruba word for "Heaven" and "Divination (Divine Nation)", revealed as the proper name of American Descendants of Slaves, and Prophetically established African nation state... Orun demystificationist vision, shared in "The Sunrise in the West", is essential for anyone seeking to understand global politics, with "Knowledge of Self", and a higher purpose, in the 21st Century.
